SUMMARY:Understanding Job Scheduling on Hoffman2 Cluster
DESCRIPTION:We will discuss how to effectively run jobs on Hoffman2 cluster. Hoffman2 cluster serves a wide spectrum of user applications and is almost always heavily loaded. We will first review the model and policy of Hoffman2’s job scheduling\, followed by fundamentals of using its job scheduler\, Univa Grid Engine. A number of common use cases will be discussed in details\, including: (1) Single-CPU jobs\, (2) Multi-CPU\, same-node jobs\, (3) Multiple-node (MPI-style) jobs and (4) Job arrays. \nIf you have any questions or comments regarding this event\, please contact Shao-Ching Huang.

SUMMARY:Making PDFs Accessible the Easy Way
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER NOW\nPDF is one of the most common document formats at UCLA. People who are blind\, low-vision or have dyslexia rely on assistive technologies and screenreading software to “read text out loud” to them. However\, many PDF documents created are completely inaccessible or frustrating for screenreader users. Public PDFs posted on websites\, PDF course reading material and PDFs emailed to listservs should be accessible to people who use screenreaders and other assistive technologies. During this one and a half hour long active learning session\, you will have the opportunity to get hands-on training in making an accessible PDF. \nPlease bring a laptop with Adobe Acrobat installed. If you do not have a laptop one will be provided for you at the Learning Lab. \nLearning Objectives\nBy the end of this training you should be able to: \n\nDescribe what PDF accessibility is and why it important\nProperly scan a book or paper to convert to PDF\nRun the PDF accessibility checker\nSet image alt tags\nBuild header structure into the PDF\nSet proper reading order\nUse a color contrast checker

SUMMARY:R Markdown Basics
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER FOR EVENT\nR Markdown files integrate text\, Markdown\, and R code into dynamic documents that weave together plain text\, formatted text\, and the output of the R code.  The resulting dynamic reports can be produced in many formats\, including HTML documents\, HTML slideshows\, LaTeX pdf\, Beamer slideshows\, MS Word doc\, books\, scientific articles\, and websites.   This seminar covers basic coding and conventions of the 3 frameworks upon which R Markdown depends:  Markdown for formatting text\, knitr for R code chunks\, and YAML for rendering the document.  The seminar does not assume any previous experience with R Markdown\, but attendees who wish to participate in seminar demonstrations should come with RStudio and R Markdown installed on their computers. \nIf you have questions or comments regarding this event\, contact Statistical Consulting Group. \nNOTE: This event is only available in-person at UCLA. There will not be online access to this event. Please only register for the event if you are able to attend in-person.

SUMMARY:Introduction to Regression in R
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER FOR EVENT\nRegression analysis is one of the most powerful statistical techniques that is used to explain variability in a response (dependent) variable as a function of one or more predictor (explanatory or independent) variables.  The aim of this seminar is to help participants increase their skills in using regression analysis with R.  The seminar does not teach regression\, per se\, but focuses on how to perform regression analyses using R. However\, it gives a very brief review on the theoretical background as necessary.  It is assumed that participants have had at least a one quarter/semester course in regression (linear models) or a general statistical methods course that covers simple and multiple regression and have access to a regression textbook that explains the theoretical background of the materials covered in this seminar.  These materials also assume basic familiarity with R\, for example that you have taken the Introduction to R seminar or have equivalent knowledge of R.  The seminar begins with simple regression and generalize the methods to multiple regression\, followed by regression diagnostics\, regression with categorical predictors\, and finally a quick look at the generalized linear model and logistic regression. \nIf you have questions or comments regarding this event\, contact Statistical Consulting Group. \nNOTE: This event is only available in-person at UCLA. There will not be online access to this event. Please only register for the event if you are able to attend in-person.

SUMMARY:Meta-analysis in Stata
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER FOR EVENT\nMeta-analysis is the synthesis of results from previous studies.  It is used to increase power\, obtain a better estimate of an effect size\, and sometimes to resolve conflicting conclusions in the literature.  In this workshop\, we will discuss how the data for a meta-analysis are collected and organized\, as well as how such data are analyzed and graphed.  We will also discuss some of the limitations meta-analysis and what should be included in a meta-analysis for publication. \nIf you have questions or comments regarding this event\, contact Statistical Consulting Group. \nNOTE: Please indicate if you will be attending in-person at UCLA or online via Zoom for this event.

SUMMARY:Introduction to Jupyter
DESCRIPTION:The Jupyter Notebook is a computing tool that allows users to edit and run Python\, R\, Julia (and many other programming languages) inside a web browser. Furthermore\, it is a powerful tool that allows users to combine live code\, text\, and visualizations in an interactive\, shareable\, reproducible document. It has been growing in popularity in many scientific and research disciplines as a data exploration and analysis tool that encourages collaboration and reproducible science. This class will provide an interactive demonstration showing what the Jupyter Notebook is\, how to use it\, and how it is being used in many different fields. \nIf you have questions or comments regarding this event\, please contact Ben Winjum.

SUMMARY:Analyzing and Visualizing Interactions in SAS
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER FOR EVENT\nIn regression\, we are often interested in an interaction\, which is the modification of the effect of an independent variable by another. To understand the magnitude\, direction\, and significance of the interaction we need to decompose it into simple effects. Simple effects can be analyzed in three ways\, by 1) testing each effect against zero\, 2) testing differences among effects\, and 3) visualizing each effect with graphs. This seminar will demonstrate how to do all three analyses in SAS PROC GLM / PLM for the following regression models: quadratic\, continuous-by-continuous\, categorical-by-continuous\, categorical-by-categorical\, and categorical-categorical-continuous interaction.  The notes for the workshop are here. \nIf you have questions or comments regarding this event\, contact Statistical Consulting Group. \nNOTE: This event is only available in-person at UCLA. There will not be online access to this event. Please only register for the event if you are able to attend in-person.

SUMMARY:Using Globus From the Command Line
DESCRIPTION:This short course will cover the basics of the Globus file transfer platform. We will discuss installation and configuration on Windows\, MacOS\, and Linux. Of particular interest will be using Globus from the command line. We will cover the installation of the GlobusCLI\, initiating and monitoring transfers and some basic troubleshooting. The goal will be to develop basic skills that will enable the participant to incorporate GlobusCLI commands and data transfers into their workflows. A laptop and an account on Hoffman2 or access to a CASS endpoint running Globus is ideal to follow along with examples\, but not required. \n\nIf you have any questions or comments regarding this event\, please contact Scott Friedman.

SUMMARY:Introduction to GIS: Got data? Let's map it!
DESCRIPTION:RSVP HERE \nIt is said that more than 80% of all data has a spatial component to it. As more and more research is leaning towards spatial analysis\, this course offers an introduction to Geographic Information Systems\, GIS\, as a means to spatialize and analyze your data. As a hands-on course\, you will learn how to download data\, manipulate and join data to existing geographic boundaries\, and create stunning cartographic representations. There are no pre-requisite requirements to take this workshop.
